iDS-10 is a new iOS incarnation of DS-10, the company’s previous big-selling music package for Nintendo DS users
New from Korg comes iDS-10, an iPhone
app comprising an ‘analog’ synthesiser complete with old-school
patching, an oscilloscope and five built-in FX, a drum synth
featuring kick, snare, 2x hi-hat, tom-tom and percussion sounds, and
a voice synth that can generate vocals from text, or be used with the
microphone throughput to function as a conventional vocoder.
And those are just the basics. iDS-10
also features a ‘smart’ keyboard, KAOSS mode for tweaking your
sounds and the ability to store up to 32 patterns that can be played
back and manipulated live.
Admittedly, iDS-10 is really aimed more
at casual users than serious studio boffins. But there’s the
facility to export your recordings and email them, meaning it could
prove useful for jotting down melodic or rhythmic ideas while you’re
on the move… or just be a better bet than staring out of the
window when the bus is stuck in traffic!
